Disklavier

Hello folks! I just found this group.

I've owned three Disklaviers since 1995, the latest is a C-7A 
(http://www.robert.to/newc7.html), and wrote the (now-obsolete) 
DKUtils software which let you play disks recorded on an old DD ESEQ 
Yamaha disk on a PC.

I'm looking forward to going through the files here and hearing the 
(hopefully original or public domain!) piano pieces you've put up. 

I'll record some of the pieces I'm working on now (some Chopin 
Mazurkas, and a lot of Hanukkah music) and get them up as soon as I 
can!

Hello Robert,
I appreciate the history and pictures of your new piano. I hope 
you'll give as the same information on your previous 2 pianos.
Thanks again.

Hi Robert, Wizard, Genius

You guest it I am after something.

What I need is a ESEQ file player.  

I have a lot of ESEQ files stored on my hard drive and would like to 
play them as you would midi files. I know that I could convert them 
to midi, play and then store them as midis, but I have over 50megs 
worth. This would by a waste of disk space. 

Could you help me and many others.

Thanks

Midi Magic

Hi Todd

Thanks for the link. Sorry but I can't get it to work.
At first, I thought it was because my .mid files point to winamp, so 
I disabled that and pointed .mid to the media player but still no 
sound.
The second point, I need a player that can look at my hard drive and 
not just the A: drive.  If I have the floppy in my hand, I might as 
well put it in the piano.

Thanks 

Midi Magic

I actually wrote that back in '91 when Disklaviers had that 
big "wagon", and haven't updated it since about 1995. Back then, 
Disklaviers only took 720K DD disks and couldn't record in MIDI 
format, so this solved a problem.

I should probably either update it or take the link down! I have a 
few days off this month; maybe I'll sit down and update it.

There's a good commercial solution out there from Geibler.

Hi Robert

I have had emails from Giebler on this one. They are fine for 
converting things.  I just want to play the ESEQ files from my Hard 
Drive and that's it.  No conversion just play.

Ah, but YOUR software is much easier to use!  I am so grateful you wrote it. 
  Don't say it is obsolete, though, because Disklaviers last a long time, 
and people who have older models need your programs in order to play midi 
files they find on the internet.

I have a question about Veloset. Most people who have DKVs say they play too 
loudly, so I am attempting to regulate volume by manipulating the data. What 
does the graph display in veloset?  What do the high and low peaks 
represent?  If I just move the whole group as far to the left, the DKV plays 
quieter, but you can never turn it up!

Thanks!
